Scene 3- The Hospital- Afternoon

(Helen's parents are at Helen's bedside, crying as Helen is still on a life support machine. Maria is round the other side, tears rolling down her eyes. The doctor enters)

Doctor: Mr and Mrs Wells..we have respected your decisions regarding your daughter's future, we know it was very hard for you...are you sure though that you want us to turn off her life support machine?

Helen's Dad: Are there any signs of her recovering? Do you think she can make a recovery?

Doctor: She's brain dead, Mr Wells...her whole body is lifeless...these machines is the only thing keeping her going...it is very very unlikely that she will make any sort of recovery..

(Helens' parents cry into each others arms. Maria wipes the tears from her eyes)

Helen's Dad: Just turn the machine off! Just turn it off! :crying:

Doctor: Very well..

(The doctor turns off Helen's life support machine)

Doctor: I'll leave you for a few minutes...

(Helen's parents look on at Helen's dead body. They approach her bedside but stagger to the floor in tears. The loss of their daughter has put a hole through both their hearts. Maria looks on. She is pale in the face. She looks at Helen's dead body and leaves the cubicle blankly)

Scene 4- Psychiatric Ward- Afternoon

(Cleo has moved to a psychiatric unit so she can get treatment for her depression. Selena and Jonathan have come to visit Cleo)

Jonathan: We just came to see that you were ok..

Cleo: I'm fine...you've already worried about me enough..you should go, i bet you think that i'm a right attention seeker with all the stunts i've pulled! :rolleyes:

Selena: No not at all! We were concerned for you Cleo...we still are! What you did...trying to kill yourself...it wasn't for attention Cleo! You lost your fiance in that nightclub fire...and that has led you to become depressed, and a symptom of depression is feeling suicidal! All the stunts you've pulled are down to you being depressed, not wanting attention! I hope you understand..

Cleo: I do understand and i can admit that i have depression..i've always denied it since the fiance died..but now, i've come to terms with it and i thought i could never do that...all i want to do now is get better..and i'm gonna stay here until i get better! :)

Jonathan: That's good to hear..and remember, me and Selena are your friends, we'll be here for you every step of the way..

Cleo: Thanks..you really are true friends..:)

(Cleo gives Jonathan and Selena a friendly smile)

Poor Helen...:(

Im glad Cleo seems to be on the mend, hopefully she will finally get sorted and be able to move on with her life...:)

Scene 5- Terry's House- Afternoon

(Terry has called Russell over to his house. Russell knocks the door and Terry lets him in. They enter the sitting room and Terry gestures to Russell to sit down)

Russell: Why did you call me round mate? You sounded serious over the phone!

Terry: This is serious Russell...there's something you need to know..

Russell: What is it? Come on! Spit it out!

Terry: Kev Peters has recovered from his coma! He has woken up in hospital, it was on the news earlier!

Russell: ****! Oh my god! What am i gonna do!?

Terry: Don't worry...i've thought of that..

Russell: You know Terry...this could be the final whistle for me! Kev's woken up! He's gonna recover, he's gonna get his memory back and remember that i beat him up! I'm gonna be arrested for GBH! I'm gonna go to prison! What am i gonna do?!!

(Russell has become hysterical. He paces around Terry's living room, pulling out his hair in stress)

Terry: Listen to me Russell! I've thought of something...i think i know how you can get away with this..

Russell: Well come on then! What's your solution!?

Terry: It's no longer a solution..i've booked it...i've booked a 2 week holiday for you in Spain..

Russell: You did what?! :eek:

Terry: It's too get you away from here! So if the police find out about what happened and how you beat Kev Peters up, you'll be out of this country!

Russell: You haven't thought this through Terry! What happens when i get back from this 2 week break eh?! The police will be hounding me!

Terry: You'll have to make your trip abroad more permanent then won't you!? But i've booked you up a holiday in Spain so you can forget what you did to Kev Peters...so you can relax and get it off your mind!

Russell: I don't deserve to relax after i beat up that poor bloke into a coma! And besides, i wouldn't be able to get it out of my system..because i would know that when i get back, the police will be all over me like a rash!

Terry: Like i said, you should make your time abroad more permanent...what i'm trying to say is that you should flee the country, get away from here for good, now Kev Peters is awake, there is a big risk that he'll remember you were the one who beat him up...whatever happens, that 2 week break to Spain has been booked up, so you'll be going to Spain for a holiday if you like it or not..

(Russell considers what Terry is saying and thinks about it hard)

Scene 6- Dynamo's Cafe- Noon

(Jimmy is sitting in Dynamo's cafe with a cup of coffee. He is anxiously waiting for Nicola, hoping that she'll turn up to meet him. Suddenly Nicola walks round the corner, she enters the cafe. She has decided to meet Jimmy)

Jimmy: Nicola...over here..

(Jimmy gestures for Nicola to sit down opposite him)

Nicola: I took a huge risk coming here Jimmy...Jason'll go spare if he finds out i've been somewhere without him!

Jimmy: Well you won't have to worry about your ******* of a husband for much longer Nicola, if you take up my proposition..

Nicola: I can't stop for long...just tell me what your proposition is!

Jimmy: Well your clearly interested in what i want to offer..that's obviously why you came here to meet me..

Nicola: Yes obviously!

Jimmy: Anyway...Nicola, i really care about you and because i do, i want you to get out of Jason's life for good before he hurts you even more! If you stay with that swine for much longer, he's gonna hurt you permanently, trust me Nicola, he's a violent man...

Nicola: He's my husband and i love him! I can't just leave him!

Jimmy: How can you love a man who's so violent...so cruel towards you?! He's gonna end up killing you if you hang around for much longer!

Nicola: Where am i gonna go though Jimmy?! I own half of Nightlife Nightclub! I can't just up and leave!

Jimmy: I've thought of that Nicola...i want to buy your share of Nightlife Nightclub...just name the price...

Nicola: You what!? :eek: No way am i gonna give you my share of the nightclub!

Jimmy: Think about it...just name the price, i'll pay however much you want me too for half the nightclub..i don't care as long as you get out of Jason's life for good before he really really hurts you! And with the money i give you, you can start a new life, abroad somewhere, away from Jason's clutches!

Nicola: So what your saying is that i sell half of Nightlife Nightclub to you, and i use the money from the sale to start a new life somewhere else?!

Jimmy: Yes that's what i am exactly saying! Now what do you say?

Nicola: I don't know Jimmy...it's risky..if Jason finds out about the deal, he'll kill me!

Jimmy: If you don't even try and carry out the deal, he'll kill you! He's a violent man, a very very violent man, trust me...

Nicola: I need to get back Jimmy before Jason questions me over where i've gone!

Jimmy: Just promise me you'll think about what i said...you've got my phone number, ring me when you've decided if you want to carry out my proposition or not..

(Nicola smiles at Jimmy and leaves. Jimmy smiles, hoping that Nicola will accept his proposition)

Poor Helen let's hope they find the hooded man. Might have known Jason would have been unsympathetic all he's worried about is his money and his club.

Scene 7- Nightlife Nightclub- Afternoon

(Jason is outside Nightlife Nightclub. The police are swarming round the place, along with forensics, examining the scene where Helen died. Nicola approaches Jason)

Nicola: Jas..

(Jason turns round to Nicola, a furious look on his face)

Jason: Where the bloody hell have you been!? :angry:

Nicola: I just...i just..

Jason: You just what?!

Nicola: I've just been walking that's all...thinking about what happened..

Jason: Well if you must know...Helen's dead! And now this has turned into a murder scene, she took an ecstasy tablet..someone murdered her and to be honest, i don't really give a damn, all i want is my nightclub back to normal!

Nicola: Well that ain't gonna happen Jas...the police, forensics are swarming round here...our nightclub won't be back open until they find out who was behind this!

Jason: Whoever gave that girl the ecstasy tablet is out to get me!

Nicola: And how did you work that out?!

Jason: Because of this dealer, our nightclub has been shut down! Whoever did this wanted this nightclub to close!

Nicola: Now you don't know that for a fact!

Jason: Well that's what i'm assuming and there's no harm in me assuming...what i want to know is, where you have really been?! I've known you long enough Nicola to know when your telling porkies!

Nicola: I swear..i only went walking..i just had to think things through! I had to try to come to terms over what happened here!

Jason: Don't feed me crap! Your not telling the truth..and i don't like liars..:angry:

Nicola: Look Jas...i swear i'm telling the truth! I just went walking!

Jason: I didn't tell you leave to the premises though did i eh?! You disobeyed me!

Nicola: I'm sorry Jas..i really am!

Jason: If you ever disobey me again, your face will be buried in a deep fat fryer! :angry:

(Nicola looks terrified. Jason suddenly changes his mood into a happy one)

Jason: Anyway, i've booked up a hotel for us to stay in whilst the police are swarming round our proud and joy...we're gonna go to that hotel now...ok? :)

(Jason smiles at Nicola. Nicola looks back at Jason, terrified over what he might do next)

Scene 8- Burnley Hotel- Evening

Jason: Yeah?

Receptionist: The police are waiting in reception...they wish to see you..

Jason: Three guesses on what this is about! :rolleyes:

(Jason heads down into reception. Nicola follows him. Two uniformed officers are waiting at reception)

Jason: Yeah that's right..

PC: We're arresting you for supplying drugs at Nightlife Nightclub, and causing the death of Helen Bailey..

Jason: You what?! Your 'avin me on aren't you?! :eek:

(A uniformed police officer arrests Jason. Jason looks mortified)

Jason: But i ain't done nothing! I didn't cause Helen's death! This is madness! :eek:

End Of Episode 1.7.

Tomorrow the series finale begins!

- Will Jason be able to prove his innocence to police?

I'm in two minds whether I want Jason to go down or not, after all he makes for great entertainment.

And so the season finale is almost open us, cant wait to see what shocks are in store.

Keep up the good work Dave!

Scene 1- Burnley Hotel- Morning

(Nicola is still recovering from the shock of Jason's arrest over the ecstasy incident at the nightclub. She has been thinking all night about Jimmy's proposition. She grabs her phone and decides to ring Jimmy. The scene cuts as a conversation starts between Nicola and Jimmy)

Jimmy: Hello?

Nicola: Hi Jimmy...it's me, Nic..

Jimmy: Are you ringing me about the proposition i made?

Nicola: Yes i am...i haven't stopped thinking about what you said! Your proposition has been running through my mind non-stop, i've been unable to get it out of my head!

Jimmy: So...have you made a decision?

Nicola: Yes...yes i have...there's something i need to tell you and this something made me make my decision...Jason was arrested last night for dealing ecstasy at Nightlife and causing that girl's death..that event made me realise that i can escape Jason forever..if he's behind bars, there's no way he can touch me...so i've decided to take up your proposition, i'm gonna sell my share of Nightlife to you and leave with the money from the sale to start a new life..

(Jimmy grins at Nicola's decision)

Jimmy: Good girl....good girl...:D

Russell: I can't do this Terry! I can't run away!

Terry: Russell! You have too! It's the only way, if you don't leave the country now, the police are gonna be onto you like a shot! Do you want to go to prison for beating Kev Peters into a coma?!

Russell: Prison is what i deserve Terry! I've commited a crime and i deserve to be punished for it! I'm going to the police and i'm going to confess that i beat Kev Peters into a coma!

(Russell looks at Terry, determined)

So did Jason really supply Helen with the drugs or is someone doing some dodgy dealings just to get him out of the way. :hmm:

(Jason is in a prison cell. He has been questioned by police over Helen's death for hours. Suddenly a police officer opens up his cell)

PC: Your free to go..

Jason: You what?!

PC: Your free to go! We haven't got enough evidence to charge you with causing the death of Helen or dealing drugs of any kind...but don't think about leaving the country or anything, we'll be onto you like a shot Jason if we find any new evidence that suggests you were responsible for that poor woman's death..

Jason: Don't worry, i won't be going anywhere because i haven't done anything wrong! You've been wasting your time for 24 hours questioning me when i didn't have anything to do with Helen's death or dealing any drugs!

(Jason leaves his cell and walks out of the police station - a free man)

Selena: Nicola? What are you doing?

Nicola: Selena....what are you doing here?! The nightclub has been closed due to what happened to Helen..you shouldn't be down here!

Selena: Well i'm glad i did come down here now...what's going on?

Nicola: If you must know Selena, i'm leaving...

Selena: Your leaving?! :eek: Why?!

Nicola: To be frank Selena, it's none of your business so you shouldn't really know why i'm leaving!

Selena: But you own half of this place, your married to Jason! Your just upping and leaving this place and your husband?!

Nicola: It's only for a while, i'll be back soon enough... i just need to take a bit of a holiday that's all..a lot of things have happened what with Helen and all, and i need a break..

Selena: Why isn't Jason going with you?

Nicola: One of us needs to look after this place...

Selena: But the nightclub has been closed!

Nicola: Well someone needs to keep an eye on it atleast...and besides, what's with the questions?! I'm not on a flamin' quiz show! :rolleyes:

Selena: I'm just naturally nosy that's all...

Nicola: Well don't be nosy! Anyway, it's best that you go...i'll be closing up in a minute or two..

Selena: Something fishy is going on here...does Jason know your leaving?!

Nicola: Just piss off Selena! :angry:

Russell: Oh my...your Kev Peters aren't you!?

Kev: Yeah..yeah i am..

Russell: Oh ****! I'm so sorry...i'm so sorry about what i did to you!

Kev: You nearly killed me! Luckily, i recovered and now i have been discharged from hospital, about time too, i swear i wouldn't have been able to cope with hospital food for too much longer!

Russell: You haven't told the police have you?! :eek:

Kev: Oh dear...that's you all over ain't it Russell?! You've always thought about yourself and never think of others!

Russell: How do you know my name?! What do you mean?!

Kev: If only you gave me the chance on that night to let me say what i wanted to say...

Terry: Well you can say what you want to say now..

Kev: I'm your son Russell! You gave me up for adoption 21 years ago...remember?!

(Russell stares at Kev Peters in complete shock over his revelation)

(Nicola is still sitting at a booth, documents ready so she can sign over her share of the nightclub to Jimmy. Jimmy suddenly arrives)

Nicola: Jesus Jimmy! Where have you been?! I've been waiting ages for you, i didn't think you were gonna turn up!

Jimmy: Don't be so ridiculous...of course i was going to turn up! I wasn't gonna miss out on buying half of this nightclub now was I?! Anyway, i'm here now so we can get on with it..

Nicola: Have you got the money?

Jimmy: Yep right here...50 grand in this envelope..

(Jimmy takes the envelope out of his pocket and hands it to Nicola)

Nicola: Thanks..

(Nicola looks in the envelope and checks all the money before giving Jimmy a pen and the document)

Nicola: Right, all you have to do is sign here..then i'll have to sign there to confirm that i'm selling half of this nightclub to you..then it's all done..

Jimmy: Right ok..

(Jimmy sits down next to Nicola. He starts writing on the document but then Jimmy waltzes into the nightclub)

Jason: Well..what do we have here then?!

(Nicola looks on in a panic at Jason's arrival. Jimmy turns round from signing his document and faces Jason. Jason looks terrified)

Jason: Oh my god...it's you...what the bloody hell are you doing here?!

Jimmy: Hello Jason...you thought you got rid of me didn't you eh?! Well, not that easily...

Nicola: You know each other?! How do you know each other?!

Jimmy: There's lots of things you don't know about your husband Nicola..

Nicola: Why didn't you tell me that you knew my husband Jimmy!?

Jimmy: I didn't think it was necessary..

Jason: (scared) Just get out Jimmy! Get out!

Jimmy: Oh i'm not leaving yet, i haven't finished signing on the dotted line...

Jason: What are you talking about?!

(Jimmy faces Nicola. Jason stands frozen, looking worried)

Jimmy: There's something you need to know about your husband Nicola..he burnt this nightclub down a year ago when i was the owner here!

Nicola: He did what?! :eek: No...no my Jason wouldn't do that, why would he do that?!

Jimmy: Go on Jason...tell her why you decided to burn my nightclub down..

Jason: I did it for us...i knew if i burnt down this place that Jimmy would be forced to sell up..and i was there with the highest offer, so he was forced to sell it to me..

Nicola: You *******!! You killed Cleo's fiance! How could you Jason?! How could you have started that fire?!

Jason: I did it for us Nicola...i did it for our future!

Jimmy: But did you honestly think Jason that you could just get rid of me just like that?! You thought that me selling this nightclub to you after you burnt it down was gonna be the end of the line for us?! Your more of a fool than i thought! :rolleyes:

Nicola: I can't believe you Jason! You burnt this place down a year ago so you would force Jimmy to sell up! You killed someone in the process, you killed Cleo's fiance in the process!

Jason: Shut up!

Jimmy: So of course, after i was forced to sell up because your ******* of a husband burnt it down, i wanted revenge...he sabotaged the nightclub when i owned it by burning it down, so i decided to sabotage the nightclub when he was in charge..

Nicola: So what did you do?! What was your revenge?!

(Jason looks at Jimmy in shock)

Jason: Oh my god! :eek: You...you supplied that Helen with ecstasy didn't you?! So you could get me done for having drugs on the premises..

Nicola: You killed Helen!? You killed Helen?!!! Your both murdering ****s! :angry:

Jimmy: The plan went better than expected actually..Helen died as a result and when i heard you got arrested Jason, i knew you wouldn't just be done for drug dealing in your own nightclub, but you would be done for causing the death of Helen too....perfect!

Jason: You *******! :angry:

(Jason launches at Jimmy and starts punching him continuously. Jimmy tries to punch him back but he struggles as Jason continues to punch him. Nicola looks on in horror as a fight unfolds before her. She starts screaming)

Nicola: Stop it both of you! Just stop it!!

(Jason kicks and punches Jimmy. Jimmy cries out in pain and staggers to the floor. Jimmy struggles to breathe, but Jason continues to punch and kick him without a care in the world)

Nicola: Stop it Jason! Your hurting him!

Jason: I don't care, i want him to die! :angry:

(Jason carries on beating Jimmy. Nicola panics and grabs a glass ashtray from the booth)

Nicola: Jason...lay off Jimmy now!

Jason: No! :angry:

(Realising Jason isn't going to stop beating up Jimmy, Nicola launches at him with the glass ashtray and smashes it at his head. Jason staggers to the floor. Jimmy gets up from the floor in horror. Nicola looks horrified over what she's done. Jimmy and Nicola both look over Jason's motionless body and blood starts draining out from Jason's head and spreading over the nightclub floor)

Nicola: Jesus Christ! What the hell have I done!? :(
